"Indeed, Xu Xuechang deserves the title of Shrek Academy's most affectionate student."
"If you ask me, Xu's talent in cultivation and appearance are only comparable to Bei's in the entire outer academy. I don't know why Jiang dislikes Xu so much."
"I think Senior Xu is being too humble. There are plenty of outstanding female students in the academy, so why is he so fixated on Senior Jiang?"
"What do you know? Senior Xu is called being devoted! He's not like you animals whose brains are full of filthy thoughts! He's really going all out."
"..."
The students were buzzing with discussion, and Xu Sanshi, as a prominent figure in the Foreign Languages Department, was always the focus of their conversation.
"What's gotten into Xu Sanshi today?" Tang Ya, who came to Shrek Square with Bei Bei, was full of doubt in her big phoenix eyes.
"Doesn't this make his chances with Jiang Nannan even slimmer?"
"Who knows?" Bei Bei shrugged, her easygoing and refined face making her more likable than Xu Sanshi.
However, Tang Ya, who was very familiar with Bei Bei, keenly noticed a hint of a smile in Bei Bei's eyes.
"Beibei, what mischievous idea are you plotting this time?"
Beibei smiled without saying a word.
Tang Ya rolled her eyes playfully and didn't press the matter further.
"I'm going to find Xiaoyuhao first. I told him at noon that I'd be ordering grilled fish outside the academy. You can just come find me outside the East Gate later."
The riot at Shrek Square quickly subsided after Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan left.
However, this incident became a topic of conversation and laughter throughout Shrek Academy.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang, who was on his way to dinner with Tuoba Yu, ran into a familiar face at the entrance of the cafeteria.
The visitor was an ordinary-looking middle-aged male teacher, none other than Teacher Wang Yan, who had observed the practical combat exercise of their freshman class nine today.
Upon noticing Xu Zihuang's figure, Wang Yan immediately rushed forward impatiently.
"Teacher Wang, were you waiting for us?" Xu Zihuang asked, looking at Wang Yan who was blocking their way.
Wang Yan's reaction was much greater than Xu Zihuang had imagined; she looked at Xu Zihuang with excitement.
"No, I came here specifically to see you."
He originally planned to apply to the Academic Affairs Office to teach a theoretical course on the classification of martial spirits to the freshmen class nine, so that he could come into contact with Xu Zihuang and observe what Xu Zihuang's martial spirit was.
But at the end of today's class, Mu Jin took the initiative to bring up the matter of Xu Zihuang's martial soul.
Wang Yan's obsession with his original martial soul was well-known throughout Shrek Academy. Mu Jin was naturally happy to do him a favor.
However, besides that, Mu Jin also wanted to learn about Xu Zihuang's martial soul abilities through Wang Yan.
Secretly competing with Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class 1 of the freshmen, she was determined to win the championship in this year's freshmen assessment. She wanted to ensure that she could build a strong seed team to take the lead.
Tuoba Yu bowed to Wang Yan knowingly.
"Teacher Wang, you two chat, I'll be going now."
In high spirits, Wang Yan smiled and nodded at Tuoba Yu, then affectionately placed his right hand on Xu Zihuang's shoulder.
"Yu, may I trouble you for a moment? I'd like to have a chat with you."
"You're too kind, Teacher Wang. I don't have anything else to do anyway," Xu Zihuang replied with a smile. He knew that Wang Yan probably knew some information about his martial soul. There was no need for him to hide it.
By speaking through Wang Yan, he could subtly showcase his talent and attract the academy's attention sooner.
Wang Yan suppressed his excitement and said softly, "Come to my office."
Wang Yan's office is located in the teachers' office building behind the Purple and Black teaching buildings.
Wang Yan holds a high position in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy and has a very spacious private office. However, the office is decorated in a very elegant style, without any overly luxurious decorations.
Apart from a smooth, golden nanmu wood desk and chair, and a plush sofa for receiving guests, the rest of the open space was filled with bookshelves, filled with thick books and scrolls, showing signs of frequent reading.
Wang Yan locked the office door from the inside and then personally poured Xu Zihuang a steaming cup of fragrant tea.
"Sit down, don't be shy."
Xu Zihuang, of course, was not at all reserved. He sat on the sofa with his hands holding a teacup and looked at Wang Yan with a smile.
"Teacher Wang, you probably want to ask about my martial spirit, right?"
"Is your martial soul an eye?!" Since Xu Zihuang had already said that, Wang Yan naturally wouldn't hide his intentions.
Upon seeing Xu Zihuang nod, he immediately stood up excitedly.
"It really is a true form martial soul!"
Wang Yan took a deep breath, then asked nervously, "Are you from the Body Sect?"
Upon hearing Wang Yan's question, Xu Zihuang fell silent for a moment, and his reaction made Wang Yan's heart leap into her throat.
If Yu Tianhuang is a member of the Body Sect, then everything he did is meaningless.
The people of the Body Sect would definitely not reveal any secrets about the Body Martial Soul to him.
Under Wang Yan's tense gaze, Xu Zihuang shook his head helplessly.
"Teacher Wang, I'm not from the Body Sect. Actually, I came to Shrek Academy hoping to establish contact with the Body Sect through the academy's network. I've heard rumors in the Soul Master world that the Body Sect possesses secret techniques for cultivating Body Martial Souls, which I think I could use. Does the academy have a way to contact the Body Sect?"
Xu Zihuang's sincere words convinced Wang Yan of most of them.
A surge of elation bloomed in his eyes as he sat back down in the chair behind his desk. However, Yu Tianhuang's openness to contacting the Body Sect caused him some unease.
Such a genius could never be given to the Body Sect!
Reaching the Soul Master level at the age of eleven means he has likely completed the second awakening of his original martial soul! And it's the kind of second awakening of an innate original martial soul that he was born with!
However, he certainly wouldn't ask such a sensitive question so abruptly.
Wang Yan took a deep breath, calming his shock and joy.
"Student Yu, the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Body Sect has never been exactly harmonious. I'm not sure about the specific ways they maintain contact. However, I can guarantee that you will receive the best treatment at the academy. In terms of martial soul research, even the Body Sect is far inferior to Shrek Academy."
He said those things with ulterior motives.
Shrek Academy has a deep understanding of martial spirits, but it has never had any experience in teaching the original martial spirit.
Wang Yan glanced at the time and continued, "I'll have someone bring some food over later. Let's eat and chat. Maybe I can give you some advice on your future cultivation direction."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Wang." Xu Zihuang did not refuse Wang Yan's kindness.
This teacher, Wang Yan, does indeed possess genuine talent and knowledge.
Chapter 71 Teacher, I'm reporting Huo Yuhao for cheating!
Wang Yan wasn't the stingy type; the two meals he had brought were both meticulously prepared, top-quality dishes.
It was even better than the dishes Xu Zihuang ate in the cafeteria at noon.
Two dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice. It sounds simple, but the ingredients are truly exquisite.
The cost of this meal definitely exceeds 150 gold soul coins. And that's without even considering the production cost.
The two chatted as they ate. Wang Yan was in high spirits and didn't put on any airs of a teacher, making their interaction exceptionally relaxed.
He was able to offer his unique insights on every question Xu Zihuang had about martial spirit cultivation.
Back on Yue Nan Island, although Wang Xiao and Yao Yang were both highly skilled Soul Masters, all they could offer him was their own cultivation experience.
Wang Yan was essentially a theorist, while Wang Xiao and Yao Yang were practitioners. By comparing the two, some of the questions that had been troubling Xu Zihuang suddenly became clear.
Before we knew it, it had completely darkened.
Wang Yan casually turned on the soul-guided light on the office ceiling and smiled gently.
"I'm sorry to have taken up your time, Yu. You should go back and rest. If you have any questions about martial spirit cultivation in the future, you can come to my office directly. It's always open to you. By the way, I'll be your theory teacher for Class 9 tomorrow."
"Well, Teacher Wang, I'll be going now. Thank you for your expense this time."
"You little rascal," Wang Yan chuckled, watching Xu Zihuang leave the office. He then pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, stood up, and looked out the window behind him.
It was a lake as clear as a mirror, reflecting the shadows of trees and flowers under the scattering of the soul-guiding lights on the shore.
Mysterious and profound.
"A true martial soul! And it's very likely that it has already completed its second awakening! Yu Tianhuang, you've really brought a great surprise to the academy. No, we have to go tell Elder Xuan now."
……
Standing in the corridor of the teachers' office building, Xu Zihuang gazed at the night view of Shrek City to the southwest. The lights of this ageless city were reflected in his clear, deep purple eyes, shining like the brilliant stars in the sky.
With the development of soul guidance technology, the soul guidance lamps used in daily life have long been popular in the Three Kingdoms region of the original Douluo Continent.
The entire Shrek Academy was bathed in a soft glow of soul-guided light.
Before he could even leave the teachers' office building, a voice suddenly rang out throughout Shrek Academy via an amplified soul tool.
"Fourth-grade student Beibei will challenge fifth-grade student Xu Sanshi. This battle will be held in the Soul Battle Zone soon."
"Fourth-grade student Beibei will challenge fifth-grade student Xu Sanshi. This battle will be held in the Soul Battle Zone soon."
"..."
It was repeated three times in a row.
Upon hearing this news, Xu Zihuang looked completely taken aback.
He knew that in the original story, Bei Bei had set her sights on Xu Sanshi in order to get the Xuan Shui Pill for Huo Yuhao. Unexpectedly, it happened again just as planned.
Without the shared mental detection, can you really help Beibei win the Mystic Water Pill?
With these questions in mind, Xu Zihuang quickened his pace and headed towards the Soul Fighting Zone in the northwest of Shrek Academy.
The Soul Battle Zone wasn't far from the teachers' office building where he was located. By the time he paid a silver soul coin and arrived at the stands, the Soul Battle between Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei had just begun.
By now, four or five hundred people had gathered around the edge of the field. It was much more lively than when their freshman class nine had their combat exercise earlier that day.
Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei, both standing in the center of the field, had a stern look on their faces.
The referee walked to the center of the field and said in a deep voice, "Fourth-grade Beibei challenges fifth-grade Xu Sanshi. If Xu Sanshi loses the match, he will have to pay an additional ten gold soul coins. You have already privately agreed on the outcome of the bet. Are you all ready?"
Beibei and Xu Sanshi both nodded to the referee.
"The match begins," the referee announced, then quickly retreated. At the same moment, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi released their martial spirits.
The once noisy Soul Battle Arena fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on the two figures in the arena. As prominent figures in Shrek Academy's outer court, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's Soul Battles were always thrilling and exciting. Their battles were the students' favorite thing to watch. Privately, many students even placed bets on them.
